Different Paths, Different Oaths by LucentRhythm

Summary
There are four that we watch.
The child, wearing a soldier's helmet to hide his broken heart.
The king, who longs for peace even as he avenges his father and uncle.
The executioner, who carries out law and justice, while questioning what is right.
And the assassin, truthless but seeking truth, turning her back on everything she thought she knew.
One of them may destroy us. One of them will redeem us.
Speak again the hallowed oaths.
----
I wanted to explore the possibilities of moments in Stormlight that could have gone very differently! Little tweaks that change major events. Some main characters from the original work could be dead or unimportant, and others who died or had minor roles are now the main characters. I hope you enjoy! Journey before destination.

Summary
It’s been ten years since Kaladin and Adolin had gotten married.
During their honeymoon, Kaladin had opened up to Adolin about how it felt seeing him with his brother, Oroden. About how it made him imagine a future where they had a child of their own.
And now, ten years later, they’re finally ready.
At the orphanage, one child stands out. Not for anything obvious, but for something they cannot describe. The moment they see them, there’s a connection. Love.
As if this was always meant to be.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
Kaladin looked at Adolin—his husband, his heart. And he saw not just the present in him, but the future too. A future with arms wrapping around his waist, and soft voices calling him “dad.”
Maybe it would terrify him.
But Adolin was here. And he loved him.
And Kaladin was ready to try.

Sequel to: You and I Go From One Kiss to Getting Married. But can also be read as a standalone!

Adolin Speardancer and Kaladin Kholin by aliferent
Fandom: Stormlight Archive - Brandon Sanderson
28 May 2020
Summary
We all know, that Kaladin Stormblessed went through a storm of hardships, went from being a surgeon to a dutiful soldier, struggled with passion that he had to control, and struggled for the whole of his life.
We know that Adolin Kholin was the well-loved son of the Blackthorn, Dalinar Kholin, who knows his way with a sword, struggled with the wake of a dead mother, struggled in finding his place in the world, and loved fiercely.
What if....their lives, were interchanged?
What if Kaladin was the prince, the son of Dalinar Kholin? What if Adolin trained to be a surgeon and then had a life of peace stolen from him?
The (probable) answer to those questions, is here.

Summary
"Yes, Kaladin. I'm going to meet my fairy godmother, get a dress and marry the prince. How realistic." Shallan said, staring at him while holding the broom.
Kaladin raised his hands in surrender. "That's not what I said, but okay."
(Your Cinderella AU, except a lot more...different.)

Summary
Death adored so, that those were who have never cut, having far cried out of storms and men, men and storms of outcries far, having cut, never have, who were those that so adored death.
(In other words, I have no idea how to write a good summary, but decided that it needed to be done, and so I wrote a silly little poem.)

Summary
"Okay, so we have a list of cues from a bunch of people! And then," Shallan faced them suspiciously. "We're gonna find out if you two are dating or not."
Kaladin and Adolin stared at each other, perhaps a little longer than necessary. With a whole lot of cues, that Shallan wondered- who exactly did those two dumdums think they were fooling?

Summary
The thing about Tien is, we know he was a Lightweaver. Like, a genuine swore-at-least-the-first-oath Lightweaver. Which means if he'd lived, he would have had a Cryptic at his side all those years in Amaram’s army. And Amaram is a man entrenched in lies.
How do you think that would affect him?

Summary
ROW SPOILERS
---
“I didn’t know you had a brother,” Adolin raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"It's no surprise you haven't met my family. After all, why would you?”
“Because I need to prove to myself that you have human parents, and not stone ones, Bridgeboy,” Adolin teased, a little too quickly.---
Kaladin fails to mention he has a baby brother to his closest friends and they find out just before they were to leave for Shadesmar, so they decide to spend one last night with him. But Kaladin is plagued with unwarranted thoughts, and Adolin desperately wants to make sure his Bridgeboy is safe enough to leave behind.

Summary
Kaladin is attending the Ivy League Kharbranth University as a premed student. Modern-ish (mid-2000s) AU with no magic or spren (our world) just our favorite characters (Kaladin, Shallan, and Adolin) navigating college together but we will be using ‘storms’ as a swear word because it's part of my vernacular now. Think Stormlight but more girl-boy drama and lots of misunderstandings/miscommunications because I love that shit. If you're a millennial, get ready for some nostalgia. Especially where emo music is concerned because in my heart Kaladin is the OG emo kid.
Probably gonna be slow-ish to update and you can expect lots of typical millennial teenage angst/feelings/drama/pining/firsts and my typical crack-ish innuendo-laden prose.
Updating tags as I go.

His muscles felt shaky and weak. He was going to hurt tomorrow but today he was going to sleep hard. He shut his eyes before he collapsed face-first onto his bed but his eyes almost immediately snapped open again.It smelled like her. His pillow, the sheets, his blanket. It all smelled like Shallan. He felt like he was surrounded by her. He wished he was surrounded by her. Fuck.

Summary
Syl zips in front of Kaladin to make sure he’s listening to her. “Three days to two weeks. Now I’m not an expert on mathematics like that Cryptic, but… five days is not two weeks yet. If they’re not here by next week, you can start to worry.”
Written for the Cosmere Gift Exchange for the lovely, wonderful Ambs, who requested some Tien.
